The anticipation is building for this year's MOBO Awards, with the hosts now revealed for the annual event. As the awards ceremony prepares to descend on Newcastle for the first time, the presenters have been revealed. Last year saw Raye, Central Cee and Sugababes scoop up the big prizes, while this year's MOBO (Music of Black Origin) nominations feature 2024 winner Central Cee, global music superstars like Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar, and UK talents such as Jorja Smith and Sampha.
Now, after it was announced that Krept and Konan, Spice and Bashy were set to perform on the stage at Newcastle's Utilita Arena, this year's hosts have also been named. Organisers were thrilled to announce former Love Island finalist Indiyah Polack and Eddie Kadi will be hosting the 2025 MOBOs. Indiyah made a strong impression when she debuted as MOBOs host in 2024, while comedian Eddie is familiar to millions of BBC viewers from his stint on Strictly.
Indiyah is over the moon to return as co-host for the MOBO Awards and shared enthusiasm as the news broke. She said: "I'm so excited to be back co-hosting the MOBO Awards for the second year. We're going to bring a show like no other before to Newcastle, celebrating the richness of Black music and culture. You can expect some incredible red carpet looks, amazing live performances and of course, great vibes from Eddie and I.".
